It looks like it’s the month of Henry Coe: this weekend is the official Backcountry Weekend, in a couple of weeks the opening of the new entrance at Dowdy Ranch will be celebrated during a ROMP/MTBR/IMBA Coe Epic weekend on May 12-13, and Tom Stienstra from the San Francisco Chronicle recently wrote a column about Coe and the opening of Dowdy Ranch.

Henry Coe State Park is the Bay Area’s backyard wilderness and it’s a dream of a mountain bike destination - at least if you’re the type that likes to throw in a bit of adventure in your bike rides. The Backcountry Weekend is sold out (due to overwhelming interest from both hikers and bikers, the park set up a lottery and ticket system, to limit the amount of campers in the Orestimba wilderness area), but the ROMP/MTBR event on May 12/13 is open to everyone.

Thanks much to ROMP and IMBA for the great work they’ve done in the park, building trails and tirelessly campaigning for access here and elsewhere - please support these organizations!
